New farmers market benefiting Edmonds CC Foundation

Salish Crossing, in support of Edmonds Community College and Edmonds Historical Museum,
is launching a new Wednesday evening farmers market in Edmonds.

“I was delighted to hear from Salish owner Nick Echelbarger that every dollar raised
by the market will go to support Edmonds Community College Foundation scholarships
and the Edmonds Museum,” said Edmonds CC President Jean Hernandez. “It will be a real
celebration of healthy living and a great community partnership.”

The market, which will have an emphasis on fresh produce, is meant to complement two
existing markets in downtown Edmonds sponsored by the Edmonds Historical Museum: the
Garden Market (Saturdays, May 4-June 22) and the Summer Market (Saturdays, June 29-Oct
5, except Aug. 10).

The new market will be held 3-7 p.m. Wednesdays, June 12-Oct. 2. The location is at
Salish Crossing, 190 Sunset Ave., by the Edmonds ferry terminal.

The market will be managed by Edmonds resident Alana McGee, owner of a truffle hunting
and truffle dog-training company.

“Farmers markets have grown in popularity as they allow consumers to have access to
locally grown, farm fresh produce while enabling farmers the opportunity to develop
a personal relationship with their customers,” said Stephen Clifton, Edmonds’ director
of community services and economic development

“I am hopeful that the success of the Wednesday evening market could indicate community
support for a year-round farmers market or public market.”
